Hey, got a problem with my baby. The leaves are starting to go orange around the edges and on the ends. There are also some dark orange patches over the leaves, and the ends are drooping down. I put this down to the plant being too close to my CFL, so moved it down a cm or 2.

Also, the current pot i am using has no drainage holes, as its only temporary until tuesday, could it be this?

Its not being fed at all yet. The plant is a rasputin IBL being grown under CFLs in B&Q multi-purpose soil.

could well be the soil , might be a bit strong for seedlings. if you aint got any drainage holes that aint going to do you any good. especially as it looks like you havent got any perlite mixed in with the soil.

Thanks for the reply. Im not putting it down to soil, as i have started 10 other previous seedlings in this soil outdoors, and they have never done this.

New plant pot coming tommorow. Think it may be due to creased mylar? The leaves are also crispy to the touch, just found out.

Gonna get the mylar down and re-do it tommorow. Its really really creased on two of the walls.

perlite is the money. and cheap.
B&Q potting soil seems pretty good....
